\"ColinMurphyhires1\"<\/a>Probably best known for his appearance on RTE’S The Blizzard of Odd and The Panel and the BBC’s The Blame Game, top stand up Colin Murphy is set to perform at Strabane\u2019s Alley Theatre on February 12th<\/sup> in front of an anticipated sell out audience.<\/p>\n

Since he first started comedy in the late 90\u2019s, Colin has performed over the world, from\u00a0 New York, Boston, Montreal, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Prague, Brussels, Antwerp, Singapore, Paris, Milan and even Helsinki. His skills have not just been reserved to the stand up stage, as he also appeared in several films including “Road” by Jim Cartwright and the hit Irish comedy, \u201cThe Most Fertile Man in Ireland.”<\/p>\n

So what kicked started Colin into comedy? \u201cWell it wasn’t a eureka moment\u201d stated Colin\u201d It was more of an ‘oh f*ck’ moment! I had got a job working on the Kelly show on UTV writing sketches and performing them every week but then after three weeks I was sacked. So I basically just had to do it, I had to earn a living. So I just threw myself into it, I did Edinburgh all those places, I slept around England, playing in every kip. It beats working! I’ve had endless terrible jobs!\u201d Since his Kelly Show job he has not looked back and is now seen as Ireland\u2019s top stand up comedian, with a number of hit shows to his credit. \u201cWe are delighted Colin is set to return to the Alley for a great night of stand up on Feb 12th<\/sup>\u201d commented Nathan Flatman from the Alley Theatre. \u201cLooking at ticket sales I think his show must have been the number one present this Christmas in Strabane, as the show has only limited tickets left!\u201d Tickets for the gig are only \u00a316 and are available from the Alley Theatre Box office on 028 7138 4444 or by booking online at www.alley-theatre,com.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
